lesson #024: life is fleeting

Recently I heard of news that made me reflect on how transient everything is. Nothing is permanent, you can't expect the unexpected.

And yet, even when we know we won't be around forever, the living continue to deliberately inflict pain on one another. Physically, emotionally. Why? For what purpose? Have we taken life for granted? Shouldn't we be grateful that we're here and make everyone happier, instead of hurting each other with sticks, stones and words?

I'm disgusted at myself, that it took something like this to happen before I get jolted into a reflection.

I don't know you but I'm so so sorry...
